    (AE7.0) Trying to tilt a graphic using Basic 3D, want to change the tilt axis from the centre of the graphic to it’s base line (so it falls forward, not twists). Tried moving the anchor point & that dosen’t change anything other than the position of the graphic. Anybody got any ideas?

    Don’t use the Basic 3D effect. Click the little cube next to the layer to make it a “3D” layer. Then, to change the anchor point, use the “pan behind” tool in the tool palette. It’s the one that looks like nothing you or I could describe easily. That tool moves the anchor point without moving the apparent position of the object.

    Check the help for more info on the things I’ve mentioned.

    By the way, if you want to do any camera moves, you should create a new camera.
